Poland and Germany announce a joint package for Ukraine. Radosław Sikorski announced the amount
— Vladimir Putin threatens us from Moscow. These are not just words. There was an attack in Poland a few weeks ago in which Polish citizens were allegedly killed. A group of saboteurs planted a charge designed to derail a Polish train. Fortunately, we thwarted this attack. But that was the intention, said Minister Sikorski in Brussels.
— For this reason, we want to express our solidarity with Ukraine even more. Together with Germany, we have agreed on a package of USD 500 million. We hope that the US and Ukraine will see this, and that other allies will also see it as an encouragement to take advantage of this program, so that Vladimir Putin will receive this message and lead to peace, concluded the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
